There are several products on the market that you just put in their food and it is supposed to deter coprophagia. Deter is actually the name of one; Forbid is another. I personallty recommend Accent-it is NOT a tenderizer but a flavor enhancer!.. Just put about 1/4 tsp in the daily portion of food. It has worked for me when I have only a few dogs. But, when puppies are being weaned and mom still cleans them up. the other dogs can start doing it again. I am not sure about the reasons but I do believe that lacking something in their food s=is a cause because if it were, they would have gotten the nutrients the FIRST time thru and not need to recycle the poo.
